A strange little side quest
The mechanics around Goal Street have roots that stretch far beyond modern browsers. Association football's first unified Laws of the Game were drawn up in London in 1863. The same trail leads to another fact: Archery was already on the Olympic programme in 1900, boxing joined the modern Games in 1904, and basketball became a medal sport in 1936. It is a good reminder that simple game mechanics can carry a surprising amount of history.
